On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.

I don't know how to tell people on Bluesky that yes, you actually *do* need Black people on board for all your political and social aims.
You literally can't go around us, cancel us, or ignore us. Every time y'all do, everyone suffers.

it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

Trans service members in the Air Force are being forced out with no retirement benefits. Utterly disgraceful way to treat people who have served our country for nearly 20 years. This does not make us safer.
Exclusive: US Air Force denies early retirement for group of transgender service members
Longer-serving transgender service members will have the same choice as more junior ones: quit or be forced out.

It’s important to understand what a state-funded classroom looks like versus a teacher-funded classroom. Your beef is with the state, not the teacher.

So, what are we looking at here? 1200 soldiers deployed to Washington DC?
That should be more than enough to secure the White House, take the criminal in the Oval Office into custody, and liberate the Epstein files.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I love that, in the quilting community, there are whole guides for how to fix it if you accidentally create a swastika.
They could have shrugged their shoulders and said “we’re making patterns with rotational symmetry, swastikas happen sometimes”, but they choose the harder but more loving path.

The ruling class has to destroy social media and the Internet because these were starting to make up for the educational systems they already destroyed. The more people learn about the world, the less they’ll believe the lies justifying its present organization.
